History

2017–2021: Formation and ''Strawberry Skies''

Pacific Avenue released their debut single "In Your Arms" in May 2017, followed by "Sally" in early 2018 and "Excuse Me" in October 2018. On 16 August 2019, the group released their debut EP, ''Strawberry Skies'' with the group saying "The collection of songs on this EP were written at a time where we were all living together in a little beach shack in Woonona. This was our first time out of home and we were all experiencing the surreal and wonderful feeling of absolute freedom. During this time strong relationships were made, parties were frequent, and we were starting to understand ourselves individually. The songs on the EP encapsulate this feeling and tell of the story's and emotions which come with the freedom of youth." The EP was produced by Adrian Breakespear and was supported with a national tour.
